On this Day in Weather History..... *In 1994, a destructive wind producing severe thunderstorm complex, known as a derecho, raked most of the central and eastern thirds of Kansas with winds ranging from 75 to an incredible 115 mph. The incredible winds caused around $88 million damage. *In 1991 Two inches of rain fell in 30 minutes about 3 and a half miles south southeast of Trousdale Kansas. The heavy rain washed out roads and left water holes that measured 100 feet long. *IN 1999...Widespread golfball to softball hail produced a tremendous amount of damage in Garden City but miraculously there were no injuries. Almost every house in Garden City sustained damage and all vehicles left in the elements received hail dents or broken windows. The severity of the storm was also unique in that it occurred well after midnight. Property damage in Garden City was 53 million dollars.
